several days, our reporter 10 convinced
that he told the truth. His whole de-
meanor and conversation bore the air of
sincerity, and we doubt not that he is
the rightful owner OF the buried treas
ure.
Felipe Castro, the Spaniard in the
penitentiary, told Sheriff Branham, OF
Sau Jose, the following story: 81 was
in Santa Barbara in 1883 and there l
fell in with Abelardo Mendoza. We
became intimate, and one day when he
had been drinking a little too muuh he
said be knew where there was a mint OF
money. l pressed him for particulars,
but for time he would not tell me any
more. Whisky finally opened his heart,
and he said that when Joaquin Murietta
left for the Tulare plains-a trip which
resulted in his death-he (Mendoza) was
left behind, being ill with fever. Muri-
eta exacted terrible oath from Men
doza that he would not divulge the
whereabouts Of the treasure. He was
superstitious, and l tried to convince
him that Murietta dead was pOwerless
to harm him, and at last he consented to
take trip to the place. Two days after.
ward we set out. We travelled along the
stage road for some twenty miles in a
southerly direction until we came to the
point of mountain. Here we took
dim trail that led up the coast side
through the brush for about half mile
until we came in sight of three white
rocks near the summit of the ridge. From
these rocks we crossed the eastern side
until we came to spring. Looking
then to the south we saw three oak trees
standing in line about twenty-five
Yards apart. We went to the trees, and
near the first we found three feet under
ground a box with rusty hinges, con-
tanning a collection of knives, spurs and
pistols. Under the second tree we un-
earthed another box filed with jewelry,
gold nuggets and $50 slugs. We took
away $1,000, intending to come back
when the money was spent. l went
back after Mendoza was dead and took
81 500 more. That was in 1885. There
must be $4,000 left, but it is not for
me, for shall never leave San Quentin
alive"
The man we questioned says that
Mendoza wrote to a Mexican before
Mendoza's death in 1884 that the money
had been removed. This must have
been in 1883. In the fall of 1883 we'll
known professional man of this place
while out hunting shot quail in the
brush, about four miles from town, and
as his dogs refused to get it, crawled in
after it himself. The quail had fallen
in slight depression, and in the center
of the hollow he found freshly dug
hole about three feet deep. The bottom
was nearly square. and he saw that
box lSx24 inches had been taken from
the excavation. This may have been
the treasure box.

Dairytng as a science.

There are two classes of dairymen-
those who make specially OF selling
milk, take away the cream aud send the
butter to market. Though the majority
of dairymen endeavor to combine both
branches, yet but few of them can be
successful in selling both milk and but
ter. The profit from the milk sold de-
pends upon the quantity yielded by the
herd in proportion to the amount OF feed
allowed and the capital invested in the
shape of labor and buildings. But the
larger the yield of each COW the greater
the investment, for the reason that pro-
ductive animal requires no more room.
shelter and care than does one yielding
q similar quantity of milk given. but to
the amount of cream contained in the
milk.
Before the dairyman can be successful
in either branch he must draw the line
between the breeds that excel in yield of
milk and those that give milk rich i'll
cream. The first thing the scientific
dairyman will do is to select the breed
for the purposes he may have in view.
The next will be to feed in such man.
ner as to secure the largest yield of
either milk or butter in proportion to
the cost of food, and the cost of the food
depends upon its adaptability for con-
version into the Ingredients entering into
the composition Of milk.
Science in darying does not stop at
selection of tue proper breeds, or the
mode of feeding, but also includes the
process of management of the milk and
the preparation Of the butter, for which
the proper facilities should be provided,
while the judicious saving OF the manure
and its conversion into crops, must be
taken as important factors 10 the enter
prise. 1t is an old maxim that "the
dairyman gradually becomes wealthy
even when his receipts and expenditures
are nearly balanced" for the reason that
his farm produces larger crops each sue
ceeding year, the manure being the
profit. As long as dairymen refuse te
resort to some system of breeding and
continue to purchase fresh COWS to TAKE
the place Of those becoming dry, they
cannot estimate ON any definite results

How France secured Greek
statue.

Visitors to the Louvre Of late have
noticed remarkable little marble statue
labeled "a Young Athenian Girl" The
story of its discovery and requisition
forms curious page in the history OF
antiquities. A peasant at Patissia,
while digging in the fields, suddenly
came across aud old sta!ue. knowing
that the Greek law forbids the exporta-
tion of ancient objects OF art found in
the country, and that foreign amateurs
are always ready to pay high price for
them, he at once took it home and hid
it under u heap of fagots. lie then
went to the French ambassador, who was
well known for his love of such relics,
and offered it to him for 1900 francs.
The Ambassador repaired secretely to
the peasants dwelling to examine it,
and found it was bona fide gem of the
Fourth century. He telegraphed the
discovery to the French Minister of Fine
Arts, who authorized him to conclude
the bargain. But there was serious
difficulty to overcome, and that was to
get it out Of the country without being
detected by the customs authorities.
After some reflection the Ambassador
instructe the peasant how to set to
work. He was to hide the statue in
Car load of vegetables, drive down to
creek on the shores, where he would
find a boat from the French sloop
stationed at the Piraus waiting to re-
ceive him. The job was performed
successfully. The statue in the middle
of the vegetables was shipped on the
boat, and the 200 francs were handed
to the peasant by the captain. as he left
the shore, On the arrival of the statue
in Paris, it was placed in the Louvre,
not far from the famous Venus of Milo,
while it's discoverer, the poor Greek
peasant, is now leading the life of
small gentleman farmer on the proceeds.

Now comes the struggle to free the legs;
it works and kicks vigorously and seems
to have very hard work. But continued
perseverance of about fifteen minutes
brings it out Of its old dress, and it seems
almost lifeless and is limp and helpless

to life, and seems brighter and prettier
